| Connor is a sweetheart who just needed
some consistent training and regular discipline so he knew what the boundaries
were. He was given up to DDRI by his owner who got him at 3-4 months of age
on a referral from another rescue agency. The owner had owned a deaf Dane
before but was working two jobs and was unable to properly train Connor. There
was also an issue of an elderly relative living in the house that was not
able to deal with Connor. This was the primary reason the owner gave Connor
to DDRI. He is a warm, loving dog who really wants to please. He is very
smart and is learning his basic obedience signs as fast as we can teach them
to him. We expect Connor to be ready for adoption some time in late July
or early August. Connor's dream home would already have a trained adult Great
Dane (or more), no small children, no elderly or infirm residents, and owners
who are familiar with Danes and have time to spend with Connor. A retired
couple or someone who isn't away at work all the time would be best. Connor
is not a "problem" dog. He is coming along amazingly fast. In just
under a week he has learned sit, down, stay, potty, and has pretty well learned
come and his name sign. With just a little extra TLC at first, Connor will
develop into a fabulous dog for the right people. |
